Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and restructuring (EBITDA) was $94 million, compared with $164 million in 2008. Second-quarter sales were $1,190 million, a 49-percent decrease compared with sales of $2,333 million during the same period last year. The decrease was driven by lower vehicle production across all market segments, most notably within the off-highway sector.
At June 30, 2009, cash balances remained solid at $553 million, with total available liquidity of $664 million. Net debt was $546 million.
Cost Savings, Operational Improvements Continue Amid Difficult Markets
"Our second-quarter revenues reflected the continued weak demand in all three of our market segments," said Dana Executive Chairman John Devine. "Despite this difficult environment, our aggressive efforts to resize our organization, implement permanent structural improvements, and address pricing continued to take hold. These actions resulted in substantial profit and cash flow improvements compared to the prior quarter, despite slightly lower sales."
During the quarter, Dana reduced its global workforce by approximately 1,400 employees, bringing its total year-to-date reduction to approximately 6,200. The workforce reductions include both actions to align the organization to reduced volume levels, as well as permanent, structural reductions to improve productivity and profitability.
The company achieved a first-half pricing improvement of $131 million, which includes the recovery of material cost increases. Other actions - primarily cost reductions - improved first-half EBITDA by $113 million.
Cash Generation Enables Debt Reduction
Dana generated positive free cash flow of $73 million for the second quarter, which was impacted considerably by improvements in working capital totaling $91 million. The majority of the cash generated was utilized to reduce debt levels. During the quarter, the company reduced debt by $129 million, or 10 percent. The debt reduction was achieved primarily through market purchases made at a discount to par.
"The positive cash flow generated in the second quarter enabled us to reduce debt levels and interest expense at an attractive price, and strengthened our debt position moving forward," said Chief Financial Officer Jim Yost. "Even without the benefit of the debt repurchase, we would have achieved our debt covenants."
Six-Month Results
Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009, were $2,406 million, which compares with $4,645 million for the same period in 2008. For the first half of 2009, the company reported a net loss of $157 million compared with income of $537 million for the same period in 2008. The six-month 2008 results include a net gain of $754 million recognized in connection with the company's emergence from bankruptcy and application of fresh start accounting. EBITDA for the first six months of 2009 was $110 million, compared with EBITDA of $298 million during the same period in 2008.
James E. Sweetnam Named President & CEO
On May 27, Dana announced the appointment of James E. Sweetnam, former president of Eaton Corporation's global Truck Group, as President and Chief Executive Officer. Sweetnam was appointed to Dana's Board of Directors on July 1.
"We've been delighted to welcome Jim to the Dana team," Devine said. "Adding a leader of Jim's caliber bolsters an already solid team of managers and employees across our global organization who are making meaningful strides, even in the face of today's industry headwinds," he added. "Collectively, we're reshaping Dana into a company that will be well-positioned to succeed as our markets recover."

Non-GAAP Measures
In connection with Dana's emergence from bankruptcy on January 31, 2008, and the application of fresh start accounting in accordance with the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 90-7, the post-emergence results of the successor company for the five months ended June 30, 2008 and the pre-emergence results of the predecessor company for the one month ended January 31, 2008 are presented separately as successor and predecessor results in the financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This presentation is required by GAAP as the successor company is considered to be a new entity and the results of the new entity reflect the application of fresh start accounting. For the readers' convenience and interest in this earnings release, we have combined the separate successor and predecessor periods to derive combined results for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The financial information accompanying this release provides the separate successor and predecessor GAAP results for the applicable periods, along with the combined results described above for the two periods of 2008.
This release refers to EBITDA, which we've defined to be earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and restructuring. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, and the measure currently being used by Dana as the primary measure of its reportable operating segment performance. EBITDA was selected as the primary measure for operating segment performance as well as a relevant measure of Dana's overall performance given the enhanced comparability and usefulness after application of fresh start accounting. The most significant impact to Dana's ongoing results of operations as a result of applying fresh start accounting is higher depreciation and amortization.
By using EBITDA, which is a performance measure that excludes depreciation and amortization, the comparability of results is enhanced. Management also believes that EBITDA is an important measure since the financial covenants of our primary debt agreements are EBITDA-based, and our management incentive performance programs are based, in part, on EBITDA. Because it is a non-GAAP measure, EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income or other reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The financial information accompanying this release provides a reconciliation of EBITDA for the periods presented to the reported income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, which is a GAAP measure.
